History: The
groupwas created in 2006 by Lesbi Chavez
and her husband, Juventino Guaran, so that children
from economically impoverished families in San
Antonio Aguas Calientes could receive a quality
education and strengthen their cultural and family
ties. Children in the program attend school, study
together, learn Mayan and Guatemalan folk dance,
take music lessons, learn English, practice computer
skills, and share meals.

Support for the
group comes from yearly school sponsorships,
calendar and CD sales, entrance fees from dance
performances, and other fundraising endeavors. 100%
of all donations and profits from the sale of goods
goes directly to Lesbi and Juventino who direct the
program in Guatemala. All proceeds go into the
program's general fund.

How
You Can Help

Sponsor a child to go
to school: For yearly sponsorship, the specific
sponsor (or sponsoring groups) are matched with a
specific child and receives regular communication about
the child -- emails, photos and school updates. Ideally,
sponsors support the child in an on-going way, to ensure
that children complete their schooling. Sponsorship
payments can be made yearly or quarterly via personal
check or bank transfer. Current cost of U.S. $375 covers
yearly school fees, books, supplies and uniforms for
children in primary grades. Secondary education is more
expensive. We are now seeking 2 sponsors per child --
one to cover school enrollment fees and the second to
cover some of the program costs, such as food, medical,
and personal care needs.

Make a Donation to
the children's general fund. 100% of donations and profits
directly supports the children, augmenting the
sponsorships to meet day-to-day expenses, such as meals,
medical costs, extra school
supplies, clothing, music lessons, and more.
